Ampac with customer Triple M and Interfire as the installer has been successful in receiving an order and the project is due for completion in December 2018. This will be one of the most Iconic Buildings in Queensland if not in the world due to its construction material.
The largest timber building in the world by area will soon rise in Brisbane, in a $140 million development by Lendlease that is being bought out by the Lieberman-family backed Impact Investment Group.
5 King Street
The project is one of the most significant for timber, the use of which in office buildings, apartment towers and other facilities is gaining ground across the country.
At a height of almost 45 meters, 5 King Street can also lay claim to being the tallest office timber building in the world (the tallest is a student residence in Vancouver)
Low Carbon Footprint
Buildings made from engineered timber have a significantly lower carbon footprint than other buildings during construction and subsequent operation.
The new tower is targeting a 6 Green Star Design & As Built rating, with sustainably sourced, engineered timber classes, energy-efficient LED lighting, occupancy sensors, optimized air-conditioning, and rooftop rainwater harvesting.
